HP Integrity cx2620 Server
Configuration
CPU Configuration
Processor Details
Memory Configuration
The HP Integrity cx2620 is a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server supporting up to two highperformance 64-bit Itanium 2 dual-core processors.
1.4GHz dual-core with 12MB of L3 cache
Or
1.6GHz single-core with 3MB of L3 cache
Single-bit cache error corrections
50-bit physical addressing
64-bit virtual addressing
4 GB maximum page size
HP Integrity cx2620 supports DDR (double data rate) SyncDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access
memory) DIMMs with ECC and chip spare protection. The HP integrity cx2620 has twelve DIMM slots,
allowing a maximum of 32 GB of total system memory.
Memory Loading Rules and Performance Guidelines
Memory must be installed in groups of four DIMMs, also know as quads
Each quad must consist of equal density DIMMs
Memory can be ordered in quads or 1 GB (4x256 MB), 2 GB (4x512 MB), 4 GB (4x1 GB), 8 GB
(4x2 GB) or 16GB (4x4GB).
Minimum memory is 1 GB (4x256 MB)
Maximum memory is 32 GB.
Memory must be loaded in the specific order on the system board.
Each quad of memory is loaded across both memory buses (two DIMMs on each bus) to ensure
maximum bandwidth and performance
Total bandwidth is 8.5 GB/s, spit across two 4.25GB/s memory buses
Open page memory latency is less then 80 nanoseconds
I/O Architecture
The HP Integrity cx2620 I/O architecture utilizes industry standard PCI-X and PCI buses in a unique design for maximum
performance, scalability and reliability.
The HP Integrity cx2620 architecture uses eight high-speed I/O channels, each channel providing 0.5 GB/s of sustained I/O
throughput. The eight independent I/O channels provide improved I/O performance and failure containment Independence protects
each channel from bus hangs or extended latencies due to failure or high bandwidth demands of other I/O. This architecture
ensures an aggregated I/O throughput of over 4GB/s between the CPUs, memory, and I/O devices.
Three of the independent 0.5 GB/s I/O channels are dedicated to the core system I/O functions, such as onboard SCSI, IDE, and
LAN controllers, as well as the system management processor.
The remaining five independent 0.5GB/s I/O channels are dedicated to the PCI-X sub-system. Each of the four open full size PCI-X
slots (full length) has a dedicated 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X bus and their own independent I/O channels.
The first PCI-X slot uses two dedicated I/O channels, resulting in sustained PCI-X bandwidth of 1.0GB/s. This slot should be reserved
for the highest bandwidth cards, such as clustering interconnects or multi-port storage adapters. The remaining three PCI-X slots
each have a single dedicated I/O channel, resulting in 0.5 GB/s of sustained bandwidth on each slot.
All slots are keyed for 3.3V I/O cards. 5V cards are not supported in the HP Integrity cx2620.

connection to a separate baseboard management controller
Dedicated 10/100Base-T LAN console and embedded web console access
DB-25 serial port - multiplexed (using W cable) into RS-232 ports: local ASCII console,
remote/modem console, and general purpose
Password protected console ports with configurable remote access control
Console mirroring between all local, modem, LAN, and WEB consoles
Remote power up and power down control via IPMI commands or simplified system console and
control interface
Event notification to system console - provides connectivity, information, and support for email,
pager, and/or HP response centers
Access to multiple I2C busses for CPU and memory status, fan and temperature status/control,
power supply status, subsystem inventory, and LED indicator panel
Interface to system monitoring and diagnostic hardware via internal IC busses
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security on web console
Complete sensor data records (SDR), system event log (SEL), field replaceable unit (FRU) inventory,
and forward progress logs (FPL) accessible via IPMI commands or simplified system console
interface
Support for IPMI 1.0 via direct serial connection or LAN transport
System Console
Configurations
- The HP Integrity cx2620's integrated Management Processor provides five methods for console
connections
1. SSL-secured web console accessible through the 10/100Base-T management LAN
2. Standard telnet connections accessible through the management LAN
3. Local console access via null-modem serial connection
4. Remote console access via external modem
5. VGA graphics console - supported on Linux, and HP-UX
Internal Disk and Media
Drives
The HP Integrity cx2620 supports up to three internal low profile hot-plug drives
A dual channel US320 SCSI channel provides independent channels for the internal disks - two
disks on one channel and one disk on a second channel. Split SCSI channels provide enhanced
high availability - one channel can fail without impacting the disks on the other channel
Support by MirrorDisk/UX across disk drives and independent channels
The Smart Array 6402 SCSI RAID card is available for hardware RAID under the Linux operating
system. Currently, the hp factory does not load the operating system in a RAID configuration.
Customers should order internal RAID cables (A9827A) and re-load their operating system if
internal RAID is desire.
73 GB 15K, 146 GB 15K and 300GB 15K hot-plug Ultr320 SCSI disks are supported
Optional optical media drives include a DVD-ROM (A9919B) and DVD+RW AD348B).
